Replace and repair

Test things around the property and make sure everything is in working order.

Finish any renovations you’ve started on the property. If anything is left unfinished it can make the property harder to sell.

Consider painting if walls are looking dated, or if the paint is chipped or cracked.

De-clutter

Sort through each room and throw away items you no longer want or need.

Make sure rooms don’t feel too cluttered with furniture or small knock-knacks.

Consider hiring storage or asking a friend to store excess items. Only keep items in the home that will help enhance it’s appearance.

Clean

Make the property sparkle inside and out.

Do more than you would do in a weekly clean i.e. clean windows and walls and scrub down bathrooms.

Have carpets steam-cleaned.

If you’re short on time hire a professional cleaner and make sure no corner of the property is missed.

Spend time on curb appeal

Fix fencing by replacing loose boards and painting, if necessary.

Remove weeds and prune dying plants.

Mow and fertilise lawns.

Clean and clear paths and driveways.

Add mulch to garden beds.

Get staging

Carefully choose the items left in each room.

Use Pinterest or magazines for style inspiration.

Use fresh linen in bedrooms and bathrooms.

Consider a professional staging service to help give your property extra “wow” factor.
